Like many people I try to save money on my grocery shopping when possible and so over the past year or so I have tried out many more Tesco value and own brand products, some more successfully than others. Over the last few months, I really noticed the price of butter going up. I tend to use a non butter spread but do like to use real butter over vegetables or when baking, which is why I buy it regularly and thus notice price increases. When I noticed Tesco produced a value butter I thought it was worth giving it a go. However at £1.10 for a 250g pack, it isn't THAT much cheaper than some of the branded butters, but every penny helps! LIke all Tesco ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so this is butter. With a minimum saturated fat content of 80%, it's basically a solid lump of fat, with a bit of salt thrown in. But I love butter, and can't help feeling that there must be some benefit in eating a 'natural' product as opposed to some weird, manufactured margarine, full of ingredients I don't understand. Plus, there's the small issue of taste, and nothing beats that creamy richness on a piece of toast. Mmmm... Anyway, justification over, it's time to move on to this particular butter. I find the supermarket value ranges to be a bit hit and miss, but the simpler the product is, the more likely it is to be of a similar quality to the higher ...  Read the complete review

My mum tried to be a bit crafty last week, she brought a block of this Value Butter from Tesco and put it into the butter dish without the wrapper on to see if anyone would notice the difference. I don't eat a lot of butter so wasn't bothered anyway but she deffo fooled everyone else in the house! lol It costs about 70p for a 250g block and personally I could tell that it was cheap butter because it's got quite a greasy pale look to it. It's mega hard to spread straight out of the fridge and we ended up taking it out and putting the butter dish out in the kitchen to save the stress of trying to spread rock hard cold butter onto fresh bread! I ...  Read the complete review

I have tried out the Tesco value butter and this is my review. I have been trying out a lot of the items in the Tesco value range recently to see if I can save some money on my weekly shop. I have thought that some of the items are very good value and I am pleased with them so will buy them again. Other items have been rubbish though and I will not buy them again in the future. I use a lot of butter as I am a big baker and do a lot of cooking. If I am looking for butter to spread on my toast or use in a sandwich then I am fussy about the taste but if I am looking for butter for a recipe or for cooking with and I am going to be adding more ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really a frequent butter user, as I prefer to put 'Lurpak Spreadable' on my sandwiches, crackers, and whatever else needs a bit of moisturisation. That said, I do occasionally perform a bit of baking, and for that purpose will buy a block of cheap butter to use amongst the ingredients. Costing 75p for the 250g block, Tesco Value Butter is actually one of those cheap lines which isn't massively different in price to the big name brands - 'Country Life' for example will only set you back around 20p more for the same size. Tesco's value-esque butter comes packaged in the familiar red, white and blue branding, which, on this occasion is in ...  Read the complete review
